SECTION II - GENERAL

INFORMATION

2.1

LOCATION

Give careful consideration to your Clayton equipment investment and the equipment warranty when selecting an installation location. The equipment should be located within close proximity to necessary utilities, such as fuel, water, electricity, and ventilation. General consumption data for each model is provided in Table 1 of Section VI. General equipment layout and dimensions are provided in Table 2 of

Section VI. For actual dimensions and consumption information, please refer to the data submitted with each specific order.

NOTE

Clayton’s standard equipment is intended for indoor use only. Clayton’s equipment must be protected from weather at all times. The steam generator/fluid heater, and any associated water and chemical treatment equipment must be maintained at a temperature above 45° F (7° C) at all times.

Maintain adequate clearance around your Clayton equipment for servicing needs. Maintain a minimum clearance of 60 inches (1.5 m) in front of the equipment, a minimum clearance of 36 inches (1 m) to the left and right sides, and a minimum clearance of 18 inches (0.5 m) to the rear of the equipment. Ample overhead clearance, including clearance for lifting equipment, should be considered in case the coil requires removing. Equipment layout and dimensions are provided in Table 2 of Section VI. Review the

Plan Installation drawing supplied with the order for specific dimensions and clearance information.

CAUTION

ALL combustible materials must be kept a minimum of 48 inches (1.2 m) from the front and 18 inches (0.5 m) from the top, rear, and sides of the equipment. A minimum clearance of 18 inches (0.5 m) must also be maintained around the flue pipe.

Flooring shall be non-combustible. This equipment must not be installed in an area susceptible to corrosive or combustible vapors.

IMPORTANT

KEEP CLAYTON EQUIPMENT CLEAR OF ALL OBSTRUCTIONS. DO NOT

ROUTE ANY NON-CLAYTON PIPING, ELECTRICAL CONDUIT, WIRING, OR

APPARATUS INTO, THROUGH, OR UNDER CLAYTON EQUIPMENT. ANY

OBSTRUCTIONS CREATED BY SUCH NON-CLAYTON APPARATUS WILL VERY

LIKELY INTERFERE WITH THE PROPER OPERATION AND SERVICING OF THE

EQUIPMENT. ALL SUCH INTERFERENCE IS THE SOLE RESPOSIBILITY OF THE

CUSTOMER. CLAYTON’S PLAN INSTALLATION DRAWINGS, INCLUDING JOB-

SPECIFIC DRAWINGS, ARE FOR VISUAL REFERENCE ONLY.

2.2

POSITIONING AND ANCHORING EQUIPMENT

2.2.1

General Installation Requirements

Lifting instructions are provided in Appendix A. Proper rigging practices and equipment must be applied when lifting this equipment. Forklifts with roll bars can be used for installations with overhead space limitations.

WARNING

DO NOT attach rigging gear to the top coil lifting hook or any part of this equipment other than the main frame.

Proper floor drains must be provided under the generator(s). MAKE SURE ALL EQUIPMENT IS

LEVELED AND ALL ANCHORING POINTS ARE USED.

Level the equipment using full-size, stainless steel, slotted shims that match the equipment pads designed and provided on the equipment. Clayton recommends full-size slotted shims. If slotted machine shims are used, Clayton requires C-size or larger for pump skids and E-size for generator and water skids.

Use full-sized anchors to anchor the equipment. Make sure anchors are strong enough to withstand operating, wind, and seismic loads that exists in the installation location.

To enhance serviceability and accommodate service personnel, Clayton recommends placing its generators, main positive displacement (PD) feedwater pumps, feedwater skids, and water treatment skids on 4–

6 inch (10–15 cm) high equipment maintenance pads. These equipment maintenance pads on which the equipment will be installed must be 3–6 inches (8–15 cm) wider and longer than the equipment base plates.

Make sure the equipment maintenance pads are properly reinforced and leveled.

Fully grout into place all generators, pumps, and skids, after leveling and anchoring, to provide adequate support and minimize equipment vibration. Grouting is important, but it does not replace the

use of metal shims under each anchor bolt location. Every anchor hole location on the equipment skid(s) requires an anchor bolt.

It is recommended the mass of the concrete foundation be sufficient to absorb the dynamic and static forces from the operation, wind, or seismic conditions that exist at the specific equipment installation location. Accepted concrete construction guidelines, for equipment installation, recommends that the con-

crete foundation be at least 5 1/2” to 7 1/2” (14 cm to 19 cm) thick, depending on soil, underground water, environmental, and seismic conditions.

If Clayton’s generator, pump, or skid are mounted on a surface other than a concrete foundation, such as a steel structure, then the equipment base frame must be supported on rigid steel beams that are aligned along the length of the equipment base frame. It is strongly recommended that Clayton’s equipment be supported with horizontal and vertical main structural members at all its equipment anchor pads.

Sect02_Genrl-SF_q.fm

2-2

04/21/2015

Section II - General Information

Perform stress calculations for the steel structure to confirm it has adequate rigidity to minimize baseplate distortion and vibration during operation. Clayton recommends incorporating vibration isolation on this type of installation.

2.2.2

Equipment Anchoring

To properly secure the equipment base frames to the equipment maintenance pads and foundation, proper anchor bolts are required. The anchor bolt diameter must be fully sized to the anchor bolt holes in Clayton’s equipment base frame. For required bolt sizes, see the plan installation drawings for the specific Clayton equipment. The anchor bolt length extending above the foundation should equal the total height of all shimming and leveling devices, 3/4–1 1/2 inch (2–4 cm) grout filler for leveling, the equipment base frame thickness, washer set, anchor bolt nut, and an additional 1/2 inch

(1.5 cm) above anchor bolt nut (See Figure 2-1.).

The proper anchor bolt length and its embedded depth must meet all static and dynamic loading from the operation of the equipment, wind loading, and seismic loading.

CAUTION

Failure to adequately support Clayton’s equipment can lead to excessive vibration, which is detrimental to Clayton’s product and component life cycle, especially electrical components.

2.2.3

Grouting

Make sure to grout the entire equipment base frame before making any additional connections to your Clayton equipment. Grouting the equipment base frame to the foundation provides a good and sturdy union between them. Grout is a concrete-type material that is used to fill the gap between the equipment base frame and the foundation. The grout increases the mass of the base to help reduce equipment vibration, which is fundamental to product life. In addition, the grout will fill any voids or imperfections in the foundation surface to increase proper equipment support. When the grout hardens, the equipment base frame and the foundation becomes one solid unit to support the equipment.

Steam Generator & Fluid Heater

Installation Manual

2.2.4

Clayton PD Feedwater Pump Placement

Clayton’s PD pump placement and its relative position to Clayton’s generator is critical for managing pump-induced equipment vibration; therefore, this helps to extend equipment and component life. Substantial hydraulic vibration can develop when pipe runs between the PD feedwater pump(s) and the heating coil inlet are lengthened and/or elevated without additional piping design and component changes.

IMPORTANT

To prevent voiding Clayton’s equipment warranty, it is required that any intended relocation of Clayton’s PD feedwater pump from the generator be pre-approved by

Clayton’s engineering group prior the equipment installation design.

DO NOT MOVE OR RELOCATE THE POSITION OF CLAYTON’S MAIN PD FEED-

WATER PUMP, RELATIVE TO THE GENERATOR, AS SHOWN ON CLAYTON’S

PLAN INSTALLATION DRAWING, WITHOUT FIRST CONSULTING WITH CLAY-

TON’S ENGINEERING GROUP.

Clayton’s service team is restricted from commissioning or starting any Clayton equipment where the main PD feedwater pump(s) has been relocated without prior approval.

2.3

COMBUSTION AIR

A sufficient volume of air must be continuously supplied to the boiler room to maintain proper combustion. Boiler room fresh air vents must be sized to maintain air velocity less than 400 scfm with less

than 1/4 inch water pressure drop. Ventilation openings must be sized at 3 ft

2

/100 bhp or larger. As a

guideline, there should be 12 cfm of air per boiler horsepower.

1

This will provide sufficient air for combustion and outer shell cooling. Refer to Table 6.1A and 6.1B of Section VI for the required area of free air intake.

An inlet air duct should be used when there is insufficient boiler room air, when the boiler room air supply is contaminated with airborn material or corrosive vapors, and when noise consideration is required.

A suitable inlet weather shroud is required and an air filter should be installed when there is a potential for airborn contaminates. Air inlet filters capable of filtering airborn contaminates down to 3 microns are required for FMB equipped units. If an inlet air duct is used in cold weather climates, it must contain a motor operated damper with a position interlock switch to prevent freezing of the heating coil. The maximum allowable pressure drop in the inlet air duct system is 0.5 inch water column.

2.4

CUSTOMER CONNECTIONS - STEAM GENERATOR

The number, type, and size of required customer connections will vary with equipment size and type of skid package provided. Table 2-1 below identifies the required steam generator customer connections for the various skid packages. The equipment connections and sizes are provided in Tables 6-2 through 6-6 in

Section VI.

EXHAUST STACK INSTALLATION

(See Figures 2-2, 2-3, 2-4, 2-5, and 2-6)

2.5.1

Installing Exhaust Stacks

Clayton strongly recommends a barometric damper on all installations. Proper installation of

the exhaust stack is essential to the proper operation of the Clayton steam generator. Clayton specified allowable back-pressure of 0.0 to -0.25 w.c.i. must be considered when designing and installing the exhaust stack. The stack installer is responsible for conforming to the stack draft back-pressure requirements.

Ninety-degree elbows should be avoided. Forty-five degree elbows should be used when the stack cannot be extended straight up. Stacks in excess of 20 feet (6 m) may require a barometric damper. Stacks for all low

NOx generators require a barometric damper.

04/21/2015

2-5

Sect02_Genrl-SF_q.fm

Steam Generator & Fluid Heater

Installation Manual

The material and thickness of the exhaust stack must comply with local code requirements, and be determined based on environmental and operating conditions (exposure to the elements, humidity, constituents of fuel, etc.). The area of free air space between the exhaust stack and building, roof, or flashings must also comply with local codes. The material used for roof flashings must be rated at a minimum of 600° F

(315° C). A “weather cap” must be installed on top of the exhaust stack.

IMPORTANT

The specified exhaust stack connection size (shown in Tables 6-2 through 6-5, in

Section VI, and in Clayton’s Plan Installation Drawings) is the minimum required for

Clayton’s equipment. It is NOT indicative of the required stack size to meet installation requirements or by local codes. All exhaust stack installations must be sized to meet prevailing codes, company and agency standards, and local conditions, as well as, the recommended requirements specified above.

NOTE

Clayton recommends all generators purchased with our integral economizers be installed with stainless steel, insulated, double-walled exhaust stacks. All units operating on light or heavy oil should use stacks constructed with stainless steel. Clayton recommends all heavy oil units use a free-standing, vertical stack, with clean-out access, as shown in Figure 2-3

NOTE

All oil-fired units must have an exhaust gas temperature indicator installed in the stack.

A removable spool piece must be installed at the generator flue outlet to facilitate removal and inspection of the heating coil. To permit sufficient vertical lift, the spool piece should be at least 4 feet

(1.2 m) tall. The spool installation should be coordinated with the customer supplied rigging. If operating on any type of fuel oil, an access door must be provided immediately at the generator flue outlet (first vertical section) to provide a means for periodic water washing of the heating coil. The section of the stack located inside the building should be insulated to reduce heat radiation and noise.

Exhaust stacks are to be self-supporting (maximum stack connection load is 50 lbs. {22 kg}) and must extend well above the roof or building, (refer to local building codes). If nearby structures are higher than the building housing the steam generator(s), the stack height should be increased to clear these structures.

Section II - General Information

NOTE

It is strongly recommended that a back draft damper (full size and motor operated with position interlock switch) be installed to prevent freeze damage to the heating coil. Machine installations, in cold weather zones, that plan to lay the machine up wet and may encounter freezing conditions must install an air-tight back draft damper in the exhaust stack to prevent down-draft freezing.

Clayton recommends insulating all exhaust stacks to maintain gas temperatures above dew point.

Special consideration should be given to installations in and around residential areas. Depending on the design, some noise and harmonic vibration may emanate from the exhaust stack. The noise/harmonics may bounce off surrounding structures and be offensive to employees and neighbors. If this condition occurs, a stack muffler is recommended. In-line stack mufflers are typically used, installed vertically and above roof level. They may be installed horizontally or closer to the equipment.

See Figures 2-2, 2-3, and 2-4 for stack configurations.

PIPING

2.6.1

General

Make sure no excessive strain or load is placed on any Clayton piping or their connections. Construct secure anchoring and support systems for all piping connected to the steam generator unit and associated water treatment package(s). Make sure anchoring and support systems keep motion and vibration to an absolute minimum. Ensure no extraneous vibrations are transferred to or from Clayton equipment. DO NOT use

Clayton connections as anchor points.

Spring-loaded pipe hangers are not recommended. All customer connections are limited to +200 pounds (+90 kg) of load and +150 foot-pounds (+200 N•m) of torque in all directions (X, Y, and Z). Properly designed flex lines and anchoring may be used to meet loading requirements. Fuel, combustion exhaust ducts, and fresh air supply connections are not designed for loads.

Pipe routes must not be obstructive or create any potential safety hazards, such as a tripping hazard.

Pipe trenches should be considered for minimizing pipe obstructions. Piping used to transfer a hot fluid medium must be adequately insulated.

Pipe unions or flanges should be used at connection points where it is necessary to provide sufficient and convenient disconnection of piping and equipment.

Steam, gas, and air connections should enter or leave a header from the top. Fluids, such as oil and water, should enter or leave a header from the bottom. A gas supply connection must have a 12–18 inch (30–

45 cm) drip leg immediately before Clayton’s fuel connection.

Prevent dissimilar metals from making contact with one another. Dissimilar metal contact may promote galvanic corrosion.

Globe valves are recommended at all discharge connections from Clayton equipment that may require periodic throttling, otherwise gate or ball valves should be used to minimize pressure drops.

2.6.2

Systems

Table 2-2 below is for steam generators rated below 250 psig (17.2 bar). It indicates the recommended material to be used for the various piping systems associated with the installation.

Table 2-2: Piping Recommendations

SYSTEM RECOMMENDED MATERIAL / COMPONENTS

Steam and Condensate System Steam and condensate system piping should be a minimum Schedule 40 black steel (seamless Grade B preferred). Refer to ASME guidelines for proper pipe schedules. Steam headers should contain a sufficient number of traps to remove condensed steam, and help prevent “water hammer.”

The separator discharge requires one positive shut off globe valve at the separator discharge flange.

Blowoff/Drain ASME codes require that all blow-off piping be steel with a minimum

Schedule 80 thickness and all fittings be steel and rated at 300 psi. Boiler blow off piping should not be elevated.

Table 2-2: Piping Recommendations

RECOMMENDED MATERIAL / COMPONENTS

Steam trap(s) discharge piping should be Schedule 40 black steel. Pipe size should be the same as that of the separator trap(s) connection up to the first elbow. The pipe size must be increased one pipe size after the first elbow, and again after manifolding with additional units. It is preferable to have the trap return line installed so its entire run is kept below the hot-well tank connection (to assist in wet layup). If this is not possible, then the line must be sloped downward toward the receiver at a rate of 1/8 inch per foot.

Schedule 40 black iron (See Section IV), local agencies/codes may require heavier pipe, and heavier fittings for oil lines.

Schedule 40 black iron (See Section IV)

Safety relief valves must discharge to atmosphere in a direction that will not cause harm to personnel or equipment. The discharge piping must not contain any valves or other obstruction that could in any way hinder the release of steam. A drip pan elbow with appropriate drains should be installed as shown in Figure 2-7.

Installing a Back Pressure Regulator (BPR) on all installations is highly recommended by Clayton Industries. A BPR is required for all units sold with Auxiliary Pressure Control (APC), Master Lead-Lag, and automated startup controls. The BPR protects against drying-out and localized overheating of the heating coil during large steam pressure changes.

Section II - General Information

NOTE

It is the responsibility of the installer to ensure that all piping and fittings are properly rated (material type, thickness, pressure, temperature) for the intended system application. It is also the responsibility of the installing party to design all piping systems so as to ensure that Clayton specified flow and pressure requirements (See Section

VI, Table 1) are satisfied.

2.6.3

Atmospheric Test Valve

An important, yet often overlooked, function of a properly installed steam piping system is the ability to perform full load testing of the steam generator(s) when the main steam header is restricted from accepting steam. This is most commonly encountered during the initial start-up when commissioning a steam generator. This condition will also occur when it is necessary to test or tune a steam generator during periods of steam header or end-user equipment repairs, when header pressure must be maintained to prevent cycling the generator off, or when an overpressure condition exists while in manual operation.

To facilitate full load testing of a steam generator, an easily accessible or chain operated, globe-type, atmospheric test valve must be installed in the steam header (downstream of a back pressure regulator, if so equipped, and upstream of at least one steam header isolation valve). The atmospheric test valve must be capable of passing 100 percent of the generator’s capacity.

WARNING

A discharging atmospheric test valve produces extremely high noise levels.

Extended exposure to a discharging atmospheric test valve can lead to hearing loss.

Installing a silencer is strongly recommended.

2.6.4

Steam Header and Steam Sample Points

Clayton requires appropriately constructed steam header connections, and at least one steam sample point per generator. All steam header connections from and to Clayton’s equipment must originate from the steam header vertically upward prior to changing direction toward Clayton’s equipment.

Clayton requires all steam sample connections used to measure steam quality, or efficiency, originate from the steam header vertically upward prior to heading to any sample cooler, water quality, or efficiency testing/measuring equipment. Clayton requires the equivalent of three (3) pipe diameters of uninterrupted straight lengths of steam header prior to and after the sample point.

2.7

FEEDWATER TREATMENT

The importance of proper feedwater treatment cannot be over-emphasized. The Clayton steam generator is a forced-circulation, monotube, single pass, watertube-type packaged boiler requiring continuous feedwater treatment and monitoring. The water in the hot-well tank is actually boiler feedwater.

04/21/2015

Installation Manual

NOTE

It is imperative that proper feedwater treatment chemicals and equipment are in place and operational prior to filling the heating coil.

The Clayton Feedwater Treatment Manual, furnished with each new unit, provides detailed information regarding Clayton feedwater treatment requirements, products, and equipment.

In general, the feedwater supplied to your Clayton steam generator must:

• Hardness: 0 ppm (4 ppm maximum)

• pH 10.5–11.5 (normal range), maximum of 12.5

• Oxygen free with an excess sulfite residual of 50–100 ppm during operation (>100 ppm during wet lay-up)

• Maximum TDS of 8,550 ppm (normal range 3,000–6,000 ppm)

• Maximum dissolved iron of 5 ppm

• Free of suspended solids

• Maximum silica of 120 ppm with the proper OH alkalinity

NOTE

Review the Clayton Industries Feedwater Treatment Reference Manual (P/N:

R15216) for additional feedwater quality requirements.

2.7.1

Water Softeners

Refer to the Clayton Water Softener Instruction Manual for detailed information regarding the installation, dimensions, and operation of Clayton water softening equipment. Some general guidelines are provided below.

Cold water piping to the water softener(s), and from the water softeners to the makeup water control valve should be schedule 40 galvanized steel or schedule 80 PVC.

Install anti-siphon device (if required by local health regulations) in the raw water supply line.

2.7.2

FEEDWATER SUPPLY REQUIREMENTS

The feedwater supply line sizing will be a minimum of one line size larger than the inlet connection size of the Clayton feedwater pump. Fractional dimensions will be rounded up to the larger whole-sized dimension.

NOTE

Clayton, like all OEMs, takes advantage of the limited length and lower velocities to minimize its internal line sizes. Like most manufacturers, this works well on Clayton’s internal piping and pump head designs because of the very short equivalent pipe lengths and quickly dividing flows (lower velocities) within our pump designs, which yield lower velocities and acceleration head.

Unfortunately, the customer and installing contractor experience the reverse when designing their feedwater piping system as they are usually faced with much longer equivalent length pipe runs and/or have to deal with a pipe required to carry more than one generator’s flow. Therefore, it is critical for the installation designer to increase supply line sizes to meet Clayton’s requirements for velocity and acceleration head. See paragraph 2.8.2 and 2.8.3.

2.8.1

Multi-unit Systems

A common design mistake is the installing of a single feedwater supply line to a common suction header for multiple reciprocating PD pumps. The preferred feedwater line design is providing each reciprocating PD pump with its own supply line and suction header.

04/21/2015

2-17

Sect02_Genrl-SF_q.fm

Steam Generator & Fluid Heater

Installation Manual

Connecting two or more reciprocating PD pumps to a common suction header IS NOT recommended. Designing such a pump system can frequently cause severe pump pounding, vibration, and premature check-valve, diaphragm, and electrical component failure. In addition, attempting to analyze the operation of multiple pumps connected to a common suction header through mathematical calculations is very difficult.

2.8.2

Velocity Requirements and Calculation

Clayton requires the feedwater supply line maintain all flow velocities under one feet per second

(1 ft/s). Customers must ensure their line sizing calculations clearly show that supply pipe sizes are sufficiently large to maintain the less than 1 ft/s under all operational conditions. Refer to the charts in Figure 2-8 and 2-9 for velocity requirements.

V

elocity of a fluid is the amount of fluid

F

low passing through an

A

rea, and the formula is V=F/A.

Velocity is required in ft/sec for our use, so we must express our generators water flow in cubic feet and divide that by an area expressed in square feet. Clayton’s generator water flows are all based on 44 lbs per boiler horsepower per hour; therefore, we must convert the pounds of water to cubic feet of water, and then convert the hour to seconds.

Let us find the velocity of 3 x 150 bhp generators running at 100% in a common manifold. This can be done by first calculating the total flow of water at the maximum firing rate. Since Clayton wants a minimum of 44 lbs/bhp-hr, the total flow required is:

F = (3 × 150 bhp × 44 lbs/bhp-hr) = 19,800 lbs/hr

Next, we need to convert the flow from lbs/hr to ft

3

/hr by multiplying the flow by the conversion factor of 0.01602 ft

3

/lb of water. The converted flow is:

F = 19,800 lbs/hr × 0.01602 ft

3

/lb = 317.2 ft

3

/hr

Then, we need to convert hours to seconds. Since one hour has 3600 seconds, we simply divide the

317.2 ft

3

/hr by 3600. The converted flow is:

F = (317.2 ft

3

/hr) ÷ (3600 sec/hr) = 0.0881 ft

3

/sec

Now that we have the flow (F), we need to know the area through which it will flow. Area is calculated by the formula A =

r

2

were

 is a constant equal to 3.14159, and r is the radius of the pipe ID being used. For this example, we will use 3-inch pipe. We will discount the differences between the ID of varying pipe schedules, water temperature, etc., to make this simple for the field. These are not meaningful for a quick check of the installation. To successfully complete the velocity calculation, we need to work with feet, so a conversion from inches to feet is required.

A 3 inch ID pipe has a radius of 1.5 inch. To convert inches to feet, divide the inches by 12 in./ft; therefore, in our example the radius is 1.5 in. ÷ 12 in./ft = 0.125 ft

A =

r

2

= 3.14159 × (0.125 ft)

2

= 0.049 ft

2

Now that we have both the desired flow (0.088 ft

3

/sec) and the available area (0.049 ft

2

) of the

3-inch pipe it must pass through, we can calculate the velocity.

V = F÷A = (0.0881 ft

3

/sec) ÷ (0.049 ft

2

) = 1.8 ft/sec

NOTE: Unfortunately, the velocity (V) in our example exceeds Clayton’s maximum ft/sec.

Section II - General Information

The more relevant issue for this example is what size pipe manifold, as a minimum, do the 3 x 150 bhp generators need to meet Clayton’s 1 ft/sec maximum flow velocity. This can be calculated using the same velocity equation V = F ÷ A. To find and area, we solve the equation for A (area), which is done by multiplying both sides of the equation by A, and dividing both sides of the equation by V; therefore, the area is equal to the flow divided by the velocity, or A = F ÷ V.

From our example above, we know that the flow is 0.0881 ft

3

/sec, and the maximum velocity Clayton requires is 1 ft/sec; therefore, we simply divide them get the area.

A = F ÷ V= 0.0881 ft

3

/sec ÷ 1 ft/sec = 0.0881 ft

2

But we want a pipe size so we must convert an area in ft

2

backwards to a diameter in inches. To accomplish this we simply work the area of a circle backwards. From above we learned that the area of a pipe ID is A =

r

2

so to find the r (radius) we simply divide both side by

, and then take the square root of the result, r = (A ÷

).

R = (A ÷

) = (.0881 ft

2

÷ 3.14159) = 0.028 = 0.1675 ft

Remember this is a radius in feet, so we need to convert it to a diameter by multiplying by 2 and converting feet to inches for pipe sizes.

Pipe diameter size in feet = 0.1675 ft × 2 = 0.3349 ft

Now feet to inches:

0.3349 ft × 12 in./ft = 4.02 inch pipe

This shows that the 3 x 150 bhp generators require at least a 4-inch pipe size to manifold all 3 x 150s and meet Clayton’s maximum flow velocity of 1 ft/sec. Remember that this must be done for each leg of the entire supply piping system using the specific flows in each leg.

2.8.3

Acceleration Head (H

a

) Requirements

On feedwater supply runs longer than 15 feet (4.5 m), or with multiple pump sets, customers must complete acceleration head loss calculations to show acceleration head losses are less than 0.75 foot/foot of equivalent pipe run for open hotwell systems (water temperatures less than 210° F {99° C}), and less than

0.5 foot/foot of equivalent pipe run for deaerator or semi-closed systems (water temperatures over 212° F

{100° C}). UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD THE IMPACT FROM H a

FLEXIBLE FEEDWATER HOSE CONNECTION AND CONNECTION

SIZING

A two-foot flexible hose is required for connecting directly to the inlet of a Clayton reciprocating PD pump from the feedwater supply line. In some cases, a two-foot flexible hose may also be required at the reciprocating PD pump discharge outlet. The flexible section must be appropriately rated to satisfy pressure and temperature requirements.

2.9.1

Supply Side Connections

Clayton’s reciprocating PD pumps require that the connection made directly to the pump’s inlet be a flexible hose section. This hose section should be a bellows-type hose protected by a stainless steel wire mesh sleeve. It must have at least a 24 inch (61 cm) length with a minimum 18 inch (45.5 cm) long-live length. This flexible hose section must be appropriately rated to meet the pressure and temperature requirements of the feedwater supply system. The supply-side piping system must include a pipe anchor directly at the inlet (hotwell/DA) side of the flexible connector.

2.9.2

Discharge Side Connections

A flexible hose section is required at the reciprocating PD pump discharge outlet whenever it is relocated from its original, factory-designed, installation location. This hose section should be a bellows-type hose protected by a stainless steel wire mesh sleeve. It must have at least a 24 inch (61 cm) length with a minimum 18 inch (45.5 cm) long-live length. Because Clayton’s mono-flow heating coil design usually increases feedwater discharge pressures from Clayton’s reciprocating PD pump, this flexible hose section must be appropriately rated to meet the pressure and temperature requirements of the reciprocating PD pump output. The flexible hose rating requirements for the discharge will differ from the rating requirements for the inlet flexible hose section. Contact Clayton Engineering for the feedwater pressure of the specific generator model.

2.10 PUMP SUCTION AND DISCHARGE PIPING SYSTEM DESIGN

The suction piping system is a vital area of the piping supply system. Therefore, its design requirements deserves more careful planning.

2.10.1 General Layout Guidelines

• Lay out piping so no high points occur where vapor pockets may form. Vapor pockets reduce the effective flow area of the pipe and consequently make pump priming and operation difficult. Vent any unavoidable high points and provide gauge and drain connections adjacent pump.

• Install eccentric-type pipe reducers when required. Make sure these reducers are installed with the flat side up.

• Keep piping short and direct.

• Keep the number of turns to a minimum.

• Keep friction losses to a minimum by incorporating smooth fluid flow transitions in the piping layout. This can be accomplished with long radius elbows, two 45 o

elbows, or 45 o

branch laterals instead of tees.

Sect02_Genrl-SF_q.fm

2-22

04/21/2015

Section II - General Information

• DO NOT use Clayton equipment for pipe support or pipe anchoring. It is the responsibility of the installation contractor and the customer to provide adequate and proper pipe supports and anchors.

Clayton recommends all steam/fluid heaters, PD feedwater pumps, and water treatment skid pipe supports and anchors use floor-mounted structural steel.

2.10.2 Pipe Sizing Guidelines

2.10.2.1 Suction Piping

Clayton tends to follow the guidelines set forth by the Hydraulic Institute (HI) for positive displacement piston pumps. Equivalent pipe lengths for pipe fittings (elbows, tees, etc.) can be found in the HI reference charts.

NOTE

While Clayton cannot assume responsibility for the piping system into which our pump is installed, we can provide valuable guidelines for designing a piping system properly.

Suction line sizing is a major factor in the successful operation of any pump. Many pump problems result from a suction line that is too small in diameter, or too long. A properly designed piping system can prevent problems, such as:

• Fluid flashing—Entrained fluid gases effuse when pressure in piping or pump falls below fluid vapor pressure.

• Cavitation—Free gases in a fluid being forced back into the fluid. These implosions cause severe pressure spikes that pit and damage pump internal parts.

• Piping vibration—This can result from improper piping support, cavitation, or normal reciprocating pump hydraulic pulses.

• Noisy operation—Most present when pump is cavitating.

• Reduced capacity—Can result from fluid flashing. If it is, this is an indication that the pumping chambers are filling up with gases or vapors.

These problems can reduce a pump’s life and are a potential hazard to associated equipment and personnel. It is possible to fracture piping and damage the pump components with high pressure surges occurring when fluid is flashing or cavitating.

Suction piping must be a minimum of one size larger than the pump suction connection. The actual line sizes will depend on meeting flow velocity maximums (see Figure 2-8 and 2-9 on page 2-19 and 2-20, respectively), acceleration head calculations (see paragraph 2.11.3), and NPSH requirements (see Table 2-4 on page 2-26).

2.10.2.2 Discharge Piping

Normally, discharge pipe sizing is not an issue for a standard Clayton generator installation. But, when floor space is limited at the installation site, Clayton’s close-coupled reciprocating PD pump will require relocating from its originally-designed location. In these cases, certain precautionary changes must

04/21/2015

2-23

Sect02_Genrl-SF_q.fm

Steam Generator & Fluid Heater

Installation Manual

be made to the pipe runs between the reciprocating PD pump and the heating coil inlet. Clayton recommends contacting a factory engineer to discuss any piping changes and obtain the generator’s necessary feedwater pressure requirement.

The required piping changes are as follows:

• Connect a flexible hose section directly to the reciprocating PD pump’s discharge outlet. (See paragraph 2.9.2 for flexible hose section requirements.)

• Keep discharge lines as short and direct as possible, well supported, and firmly anchored. This will ensure minimal pipe vibration, whether hydraulic or mechanical, that can be detrimental to the pump and generator. Avoid “dead ends” and abrupt direction changes as much as possible.

• Always incorporate 45 o

angles in the discharge pipe runs by using lateral tees and 45 o

elbows. DO

NOT connect the pump’s discharge piping directly to a 90 o

tee/elbow pipe, or other acute-angled piping. These types of connections will create “standing wave” or “bounce-back,” either audible or sub-audible, that causes excessive vibration and noise.

• Use laterals in place of tees with the bottom of the Y facing the direction of pumped water flow.

Use long radius elbows, or two 45 o

elbows, throughout the discharge piping system from the flexible hose discharge connection to the heating coil inlet connection.

• Increase the pipe sizes by at least one full size over the PD feedwater pump’s discharge connection

(i.e.: a 1 1/2 or 2 inch discharge requires an increase to 3 inches minimum).

• Use of butt-weld pipe with weld-neck flange construction throughout the discharge pipe run is recommended.

• Discharge flow velocities must be maintained below 5 ft/sec. maximum.

• DO NOT install angle valves, globe valves, reduced port regular opening valves, restricting plug valves, flow restriction orifices, or small ventures in the discharge pipe run.

• DO NOT install any quick-closing valves, which can cause hydraulic shock (water hammering) in the discharge piping run.

• Connect the pressure relief valve and pressure gauge with snubber ahead of any block valve so that the pump discharge pressure is always reflected at the relief valve. The relieving capacity of the valve must exceed the full capacity of the pump to avoid excessive pressure while relieving flow.

Use only full-sized relief line design with no restrictions.

• Should the Clayton reciprocating PD pump’s pressure relief valve be removed, it must be replaced with a properly sized and correctly set pressure relief valve. Relief valve discharge must not be piped to reciprocating PD pump’s suction line.

• Install a 2-inch NPTF weld couplet vertically upward, as close as possible, to the reciprocating PD pump’s discharge connector to allow the addition of nitrogen-filled pulsation dampeners.

• All discharge pipe and pipe fittings must be at minimum Schedule 80.

2.11 NET POSITIVE SUCTION HEAD (NPSH)

NPSH relates to the pressure (generally in terms of “head” of water, or psi) that a pump needs to prevent flashing or cavitation within the pump, primarily in the suction check-valve area. Flashing and cavitation will reduce necessary flow rates and cause damage to the internal pump components and coil.

is determined by the elevation difference between the operating hot-well tank water level and the inlet to the pump, minus frictional losses and minus acceleration head losses.

NOTE

If a hot-well tank cannot be sufficiently elevated to supply the required NPSH

A

, a booster pump will be required. To convert booster pump pressure (psi) to foot of head, use the following formula: psi (2.3067)=ft of water.

Booster pumps should be placed adjacent to the feedwater supply (suction) vessel. The total suction system’s NPSH

A

must be greater than the booster pump’s NPSH

R

. The discharge head of the booster pump must be sufficient to provide a pressure of at least 25% greater than Clayton’s reciprocating PD pump’s

NPSH

R

, plus pipe friction losses, plus acceleration head losses, and plus 2.5 ft. Velocity and acceleration head design requirements are specified in paragraphs 2.8.2, page 2-18, and 2.8.3, page 2-21, and velocity charts in Figures 2-8 and 2-9, pages 2-19 and 2-20, respectively.

Requirements shown are based on Clayton’s standard reciprocating PD pump usage. Alternate pumps that require higher NPSH

NOTE

Water flow is based on 44 lb. per hour per bhp. NPSH

R s shown are for 150 psi design steam pressure. Higher steam pressures could change these numbers.

2.11.3 Acceleration Head (H

a

)

Unlike centrifugal pumps that provide a smooth continuous flow, positive displacement pumps (typically used by Clayton) cause an accelerating and decelerating fluid flow as a result of the reciprocating motion and suction valves opening and closing. This accelerated and decelerated pulsation phenomenon is also manifested throughout the suction pipe. The energy required to keep the suction pipe fluid from falling below vapor pressure is called acceleration head. For installations with long piping sections, this becomes a significant loss to overcome and must be carefully considered. If sufficient energy is absent, then fluid flashing, cavitation, piping vibration, noisy operation, reduced capacity, and shortened pump life can occur.

To calculate the H a

required to overcome the pulsation phenomenon, use the following empirical equation:

H

a

=

LVNC gk

where:

H a

= Head in feet (meters) of liquid pumped to produce required acceleration

L = Actual suction pipe length in feet (meters)

V = Mean flow velocity in suction line in feet per second (m/s) (See Figure 2-8 and 2-9, page 2-19 and 2-20, respectively.)

N =Pump speed in rpm (See Table 2-5, below.)

Since this equation is based on ideal conditions of a relatively short, non-elastic suction line, calculated values of H a

should be considered as approximations only.

NOTE

As pump speed (N) is increased, mean flow velocity (V) also increases. Therefore, acceleration head (H a

) varies as the square of pump speed.

NOTE

Acceleration head varies directly with actual suction pipe length (L).

IMPORTANT

ACCELERATION HEAD IS A SUCTION PIPING SYSTEM FACTOR THAT MUST BE

ACCOUNTED FOR BY THE PIPING SYSTEM DESIGNER. MANUFACTURERS

CANNOT ACCOUNT FOR THIS IN THEIR DESIGNS BECAUSE OF THE LARGE

VARIETY OF APPLICATIONS AND PIPING SYSTEMS PUMPS ARE INSTALLED

IN.

NOTE

If acceleration head is ignored or miscalculated, significant pump and piping system problems (suction and discharge) may result.

Sect02_Genrl-SF_q.fm

Steam Generator & Fluid Heater

Installation Manual

Clayton recommends placing a suction pulsation dampener or stabilizer adjacent to the positive displacement reciprocating pump suction connection. This will help to protect the booster pump from the pulsating fluid mass inertia of the positive displacement reciprocating pump and to reduce the effect of acceleration head.

2.12 GENERAL INSTALLATION CONCERNS

2.12.1 Charge Pumps

Charge (booster) pumps should be sized to 150% of rated Clayton pump volume. Charge pumps must be centrifugal-type pumps—not positive displacement pumps.

2.12.2 Charge Pumps Are Not A Substitute

Charge pumps are not a good substitute for short, direct, oversized, suction lines. They are also not a substitute for the computation of available NPSH, acceleration head (H a

), frictional head (H

F

), vapor pressure, and submergence effects being adequately considered.

2.12.3 Multiple Pump Hookup

The preferred configuration for connecting two or more reciprocating pumps in a system is to provide each pump with their own piping system. This will ensure each pump is isolated from the effects of another pump’s cyclical demands.

Connecting two or more reciprocating pumps to a common suction header IS NOT recommended.

Designing such a pump system can frequently cause severe pump pounding, vibration, and premature checkvalve and diaphragm failure. In addition, attempting to analyze the operation of multiple pumps connected to a common suction header through mathematical calculations becomes impossible.

2.12.4 Pumphead Cooling Water System (Clayton Feedwater Pumps)

Clayton feedwater pumps require pumphead cooling water in the following applications:

• high coil feed pressures - for pump discharge pressures above 500 psi (34.5 bar)

• high-temperature supply water - supply water from a DA, SCR, or receiver with temperatures above 210° F (98° C)

The cooling water temperature must be below 75° F (24° C). The supplied water pressure should be

35–65 psi (2.4–4.5 bar) with a flow rate of 1.5 gpm (5.7 lpm) minimum.

2.13 ELECTRICAL

All customer-supplied electrical wiring must be properly sized for the voltage and amperage rating of the intended application. Full load amperage (FLA at 460V) requirements for each model are provided in

Table 6-1 of Section VI. Use the appropriate multiplier, provided in the table below, to determine the full load amperage requirements for other voltages (FLA at 460V times the multiplier).

A fused disconnect switch (customer furnished) must be installed in accordance with NEC 430 and should be located within view of the steam generator. The switch should be easily accessible to operating personnel. Clayton provides a set of terminals in the steam generator electrical control cabinet for wiring an emergency stop device (customer furnished).

NOTE

Additional access holes are located in the bottom of the electronics control cabinet.

DO NOT make any holes in the sides or top of the electrical cabinet(s).

Clayton strongly recommends surge protection for all its equipment. Isolation transformers are recommended for areas subject to electrical variations due to weather, weak or varying plant power, or old systems.

Isolation transformers are required on all electrical systems that are based on delta distribution systems. Clayton recommends electrical connections be made through a grounded wire system only.

Clayton electronics cabinet devices are rated to function properly at typical boiler room temperatures not exceeding 120° F (49° C). For boiler room installations where temperatures are expected to rise above

120° F (49° C), installation of a Clayton electronics cabinet cooler is required. This cooler requires a supply of clean, dry compressed air at 40 scfm (1.13 m

3

/min.) at 100 psi (6.9 bar).

2.14 ELECTRICAL GROUNDING

Clayton’s steam generator, fluid heater, and water skid installations must have an electrical grounding network with a resistance no higher than 2 Ohms to earth ground when measured at its control box(es).

Clayton requires a separate, direct earth ground at each of its unit installations.

Grounding wires must be routed directly with electrical power supply wiring and sized according to the connected amperage, but never less than 8 awg. A separate ground wire must be run to each steam generator/fluid heater frame and water skid frame

SECTION III - CLAYTON

FEEDWATER SYSTEMS

3.1

GENERAL

Clayton steam generator feedwater systems are designed with an open (hotwell), deaerator

(DA), or Semi-Closed Receiver (SCR). The selection of the proper feedwater system is determined by the steam generator’s application, the installation environment, and other factors. Each system is discussed in detail in later paragraphs in this section.

The feedwater system’s pipes, as well as the heating coil, are susceptible corrosion if proper feedwater treatment is neglected. Corrosion in the pipes are due to three fundamental factors—dissolved oxygen content, low pH, and temperature. Oxygen is required for most forms of corrosion. The dissolved oxygen content is a primary factor in determining the severity of the corrosion. Removing oxygen, and carbon dioxide, from the feedwater is essential for proper feedwater conditioning. Temperature and low pH affects the aggressiveness of the corrosion.

Deaerators are designed to remove most of the corrosive gases from the feedwater. Deaeration can be defined as the mechanical removal of dissolved gases from a fluid. There are many types of Deaerators; however, the ones most commonly used for deaerating boiler feedwater are the open (atmospheric), pressurized jet spray, and tray type. To effectively release dissolved gases from any liquid, the liquid must be kept at a high temperature. Deaerators are pressurized above atmospheric pressure (typically 3–15 psig) to maintain the feedwater at a higher boiling point.

The increased pressure and temperature releases the dissolved gases from the feedwater and those gases are vented to atmosphere.

There are four skid package options available depending on the feedwater system (all options are not available for all models - contact your Clayton Sales Representative). The systems, skid package options, and required customer connections are described below.

3.2

SKID PACKAGES

A. Individual Components The steam generator unit and all water treatment components

are furnished separately. Placement of each component and its assemblies and interconnections are determined by the installer.

B. Feedwater Receiver Skid A separate skid consisting of the feedwater receiver,

booster pump(s), and electrical control box mounted on a common frame is provided along with the steam generator. Interconnecting piping between the feedwater receiver and booster pump(s), if applicable, and feedwater receiver trim component mounting, are included. If applicable (>200 bhp), electrical connections between the water level control, makeup water valve, and skid electrical control box are also included. No other water treatment components or interconnections are provided on this skid.

OPEN SYSTEM

(Refer to P&ID drawing R-19477.)

In an open system, the makeup water, condensate returns (system and separator trap returns), chemical treatment, and heating steam are blended in an atmospheric feedwater receiver tank, (vented to atmosphere - under no pressure). Open feedwater receiver systems are sized to provide the necessary volume of feedwater and sufficient retention time for the chemical treatment to react. Condensate, separator trap returns and feedwater treatment chemicals are injected at the opposite end of the tank as the feedwater outlet connection. This helps to avoid potential feedwater delivery problems to the booster or feedwater pump(s), and to provide sufficient reaction time for the chemical treatment.

This is the supply connection for properly-treated feedwater to the booster pump(s) or feedwater pump(s). Depending on the tank size, this connection may be either on the bottom or on the side of the tank. A valve and strainer (0.125 mesh) must be installed in the feedwater supply piping at the inlet to each pump (shipped loose if Clayton furnished - except on Skids). Feedwater line must be constructed to provide

the required NPSH, velocity under 1 ft/s, and acceleration head losses

less than those shown in Section 2.11 to the feedwater pump inlet.

Restrictions in this line will cause water delivery problems that may result in pump cavitation and water shortage problems in the heating coil.

Install a pipe tee in the feedwater outlet line just below the feedwater outlet connection.

On an elevated receiver system, this pipe tee provides a connection for the gravity fill plumbing coming from the heating coil.

Vent piping must be installed so as not create back pressure on the hotwell. The vent pipe should be as short as possible, contain no valves or restrictions, and run straight up and out. Ninety degree elbows are to be avoided. A 45 o

offset should be provided at the end of the vent line to prevent system contamination during severe weather conditions and/or during shutdown periods.

One common feedwater chemical injection connection is provided into which all feedwater treatment chemicals are introduced. A check-valve must be installed in the discharge line of each chemical pumping system.

No valves are to be installed in the overflow piping. Overflow piping must be plumbed to the blowdown tank discharge piping at a point prior to the temperature valve sensor.

The overflow line must be full size, not reduced. Clayton recommends installing a “Ptrap” on all overflow lines.

A valve must be provided in the drain line. As indicated above, the drain line can be tied into the overflow line as long as the line size downstream of the merge remains at least the size of the overflow connection on the tank.

NOTE

The feedwater receiver drain and overflow lines (run independently or tied together) may contain up to 212 o

F water and must be routed to the Blowdown

Tank discharge piping at a point prior to the temperature valve sensor.

Table 3-3: Feedwater Receiver Connections

The condensate return connection is the point where all system condensate returns, separator trap discharge, and heating steam are introduced. The hotwell may use one or two condensate return connections, depending on the tank size and return volume. This injection point is located below the water line and connected to a sparger tube(s).

Introducing the steam and hot condensate below the water line in conjunction with using the sparger tube reduces the velocity and turbulence created at the injection point, while minimizing flash steam losses and noise. On tanks containing two condensate return connections one is used for system condensate returns, the other is used for the separator trap discharge and heating steam. In all cases, a check-valve must be installed in the condensate return and steam supply lines to prevent back-feeding. The checkvalve must be located as close to the feedwater tank as possible. When installing a sparger tube(s) it must be installed so that the holes are in a horizontal position. This is confirmed on Clayton manufactured hotwells (up to 200 bhp) by visual verification that the “X” stamping on the external section is in the “12 o’clock” position. Refer to drawing R-19477 for the proper temperature control valve configuration.

NOTE

Clayton feedwater receivers are sized for proper flow and chemical mixture. If a customer’s condensate system creates large surges in returns at start up or while in operation, it may cause the feedwater receiver to overflow. Proper evaluation of the condensate return system and final feedwater receiver sizing is the customer’s responsibility.

3.5

DEAERATOR (DA)

Effective control of the pressure in the deaerator is essential to proper performance and operation of the Clayton steam generator system. Most deaerators have high and low pressure condensate return inlet connections. The high temperature condensate should be introduced into the DA through a sparger tube. Condensate returns affect the pressure and water temperature in the DA. Introducing condensate return increases the pressure in the DA and, conversely, reducing the amount of condensate return decreases the pressure in the DA. When the quantity of condensate return is insufficient to maintain the desired water level in the DA, relatively cool makeup water is admitted. This results in a pressure drop (sometimes sudden) in the DA. This distorts the saturation pressure-temperature relationship causing the high temperature water in the DA to flash, releasing steam. Some amount of the water in the supply line to the feedwater pump also flashes. This condition may result in cavitation of the feedwater pump, impeding feedwater delivery to, and resulting in an overheat condition of the heating coil. On the other hand, if the water in the DA is overheated due to an excessive amount of condensate return, some of this heat is vented off as steam to prevent over-pressurizing the DA.

Pressure regulating valves, PRV/BPR, are used to maintain a stable pressure in the DA. A

Pressure Regulating Valve (PRV) is used to inject steam into the DA when a pressure drop is sensed. The PRV for this service is typically pilot operated. The downstream sensing line should be connected to the deaerator head rather than the PRV downstream pipe line. This will prevent

04/22/2015

3-5

Sect03_FeedwtrSys_SF_f.fm

Steam Generator & Fluid Heater

Installation Manual

any control variations due to the pressure loss in the line. A Back Pressure Regulator (BPR) is used to vent steam during periods of overpressure. When large amounts of hot condensate are returned, an amount of steam will be released momentarily—this is normal. Clayton uses a separator with dual steam traps on deaerator applications to minimize this condition. With intermittent conditions of condensate returns at different temperatures and cold makeup, it may not be possible to absorb all the heat from the hot condensate. Deaerator pressure fluctuations should be controlled to within 2-3 psig.

The deaerator should be installed horizontally. The higher the DA can be elevated above the booster pump(s) the less sensitive the feedwater delivery system will be to pressure variations.

Other factors, such as friction loss in the feedwater supply line and the Net Positive Suction Head

(NPSH) characteristics of the booster pump(s), should be considered when planning the deaerator installation. Clayton requires booster pumps for most DA installations. The deaerator can be insulated to maximize heat retention.

Descriptions for the water treatment and accessory components are provided in Section

VII (Optional Equipment) and in the Clayton Feedwater Treatment Manual.

NOTE

All piping to and from the deaerator must remain the same size or larger than the tank connection. Always check feedwater pump pipe size requirements and follow the larger pipe size. See Table 3-4 below.

Table 3-4: Deaerator Connections

Feedwater

Outlet

This connection is used to deliver properly treated feedwater to the booster pump(s) it is typically on the bottom of the tank. A valve and strainer must be provided in the feedwater supply piping at the inlet to each pump. The feedwater line must be constructed so as to provide the required NPSH to the feedwater pump inlet. Restrictions in this line will cause water delivery problems that may result in pump cavitation and water shortage problems in the heating coil. Do not insulate this line. Cooling in the pump suction line

is beneficial during periods of fluctuating pressure in the deaerator. See Section 2.9.

Gravity Fill A pipe tee should be installed in the feedwater outlet line just below the feedwater outlet connection. On an elevated DA System, this pipe tee provides a connection for the gravity fill plumbing. On a receiver system which uses Booster Pumps, install a pipe plug in the gravity fill tee connection.

Vent

The deaerator must vent the liberated gases to be effective. Some steam is always vented with these gases.

One common feedwater chemical injection connection is provided into which all feedwater treatment chemicals are introduced. A check valve must be installed in the discharge line of each chemical pumping system.

No valves are to be installed in the overflow trap piping. The overflow trap piping must be plumbed to the blowdown tank discharge piping at a point prior to the temperature valve sensor.

Condensate

Returns

&

Sparger Tube

The deaerator drain and overflow lines (run independently or tied together) typically contain water at >230 o

F and must be routed to a blowdown tank discharge piping at a point prior to the temperature valve sensor.

Most deaerators have a high and low pressure condensate return connection. The high pressure condensate return connection is where all system condensate return and separator trap discharge is introduced. Low pressure returns are typically pumped from a condensate collection tank to the low pressure return connection. The high pressure condensate return connection(s) is located below the water line with a sparger tube installed internally. Introducing the steam and hot condensate below the water line in conjunction with using the sparger tube reduces the velocity and turbulence created at the injection point, while minimizing flash steam losses and noise. In all cases, a check valve must be installed, as close to the DA as possible, in the steam heat and condensate return lines to prevent back-feeding. When installing a sparger tube(s) it must be installed so that the holes are in a horizontal position.

Pressure

Regulating

Valve

Steam is injected into the high pressure side of the tank to maintain the desired operating pressure. A Pressure Regulating Valve (PRV) is used for pressure regulation.

Safety Relief

Valve

Each deaerator is equipped with a safety relief valve to prevent overpressurizing of the tank. This valve is typically rated at 50 psi. The safety relief valve must discharge to atmosphere and in a direction that will not cause harm to personnel or equipment. The discharge piping must not contain any valves or other obstructions that could hinder the release of steam.

Back Pressure

Regulation

Valve

A back pressure regulator is used to help maintain a steady operating pressure in the DA.

This valve is set below the safety valves and will vent during minor periods of over pressurization.

NOTE

BPR sensing line must be plumbed directly to DA pressure sensing port at the gauge connection on top of the DA tank.

3.6

SEMI-CLOSED RECEIVER (SCR)

Semi-Closed Receiver (SCR) systems are used only in applications that return a large amount (typically > 50%) of high pressure, high temperature, condensate. The SCR is a pressurized vessel that is maintained at a pressure that will minimize venting (wasting) of the excess system heat contained in the hot condensate returns. Feedwater outlet line sizing is critical. See

Section 2.11.

Each SCR system is unique and requires individual attention to ensure proper application, installation and operation.

SCR SKIDS

These skids must be shipped with the SCR tank loose. Tank and interconnecting piping must be assembled by the installer.

HEAD TANK

A 10-gallon head tank is required when proper receiver tank elevation is unavailable. A head tank provides the necessary positive coil feed pressure during wet layup. The tank must be installed at least two (2) feet above the steam generator coil inlet connection.

SECTION IV - FUEL SYSTEM

4.1

GENERAL

Clayton’s SigmaFire steam generators are designed to fire on natural gas, propane, or No.

2 distillate light fuel oil. On combination natural/propane gas and fuel oil machines, each fuel type requires its designated burner manifold to operate. These burner manifolds must be exchanged, manually, to match the fuel-type desired. Characteristics of, and installation guidelines for, both gas and oil fuel systems are described in detail in the following paragraphs.

The SigmaFire models SF-25 and SF-35 steam generators/fluid heaters are step-fired combustion machines only. The SigmaFire models SF-50 through SF-200 steam generators/fluid heaters are step-fired as standard, but ordered as modulating on gas combustion and step-fired on oil combustion.

NOTE

The installing contractors are responsible for ensuring that all piping and fittings are rated for the intended system installation (material type, thickness, pressure, temperature). The installing contractors are also responsible for ensuring the steam system design meets the flow and pressure requirements of a Clayton steam generator (see

Section VI, Table 1).

4.2

NATURAL GAS

Clayton’s SigmFire steam generators are built in accordance with ANSI/ASME CSD-1,

(C)UL [(Canada) Underwriters Laboratories], FM (Factory Mutual) guidelines, and IRI (Industrial Risk Insurers)/GEGAP compliance. High and low gas pressure switches (with manual reset) are standard on all gas trains.

Unless otherwise stated (liquid petroleum and other gas operation requires engineering evaluation), the standard Clayton gas burner is designed for operation using pipeline-quality natural gas. Gas supply connection sizes and rated gas flows for each model are provided in Tables

1and 2 of Section VI. The gas supply line must be sized to provide both the supply pressure and full rated flow indicated in Table 1 of Section VI without “sagging” (pressure drop). The gas supply pressure must not vary more than +5% of Clayton’s required supply pressure.

NOTE

All gas supply piping must include a minimum 12-inch drip leg immediately before Clayton’s gas train connection, and be fully selfsupporting.

4-1

04/22/2015 Sect04_FuelSys_SF_f.fm

STEAM GENERATOR & FLUID HEATER

INSTALLATION MANUAL

Gas pressure regulation is required. A regulated minimum of 2 psi gas pressure is required at the inlet to the gas train. Pressure regulators should be sized to pass 25% excess gas at full open position with minimal pressure drop. One-eighth inch vent lines are needed for both the high and low gas pressure switches.

NOTE

Refer to local codes regarding vent manifolding.

4.3

OIL

4.3.1

General

Clayton SigmaFire oil-fired steam generators are step-fired and designed with pressure atomizing-type oil burners. A 0.5–10 psig fuel oil pressure is required at the inlet to the fuel oil pump.

NOTE

All Clayton liquid fuel systems require a fuel return line in addition to the fuel supply line. Clayton recommends fuel return lines have no isolation valve, or only valves with position open locking mechanisms.

NOTE

It is the customer’s responsibility to implement and meet state, local and EPA code requirements for fuel oil storage.

4.3.2

Light Oil

The Clayton light-oil burner is designed for operation with No. 2 distillate light fuel oil as defined by ASTM D 396 - Standard Specifications for fuel oils.

NOTE

A fusible-link-actuated shutoff valve is required in the fuel oil supply line when a machine is installed within FM (Factory Mutual) jurisdiction. This is not within the Clayton scope of supply and must be provided by the installer.

A Clayton step-fired light-oil fuel system uses a direct-fire ignition.

SEPARATORS

5.1

GENERAL

Clayton Steam Generators require the same basic boiler feedwater treatment as any other watertube or firetube boiler. All require soft water with little or no dissolved oxygen, a sludge conditioner, and a moderate to high pH. The water supplied from the Condensate Receiver should meet these conditions.

The primary distinction between a Clayton Steam Generator and drum type boiler is how and where the desired pH levels are achieved. The feedwater in the Feedwater Receiver is boiler water for the

Clayton but similar to makeup water for the drum type boiler. Conventional boilers concentrate the boiler feedwater in the drum and maintain total dissolved solids (TDS) levels and pH through blowdown. A system consisting of only Clayton Steam Generators uses the Feedwater Receiver much the same way conventional boilers use drums except that blowdown is taken off the separator trap discharge. Typically, drum type boilers cannot tolerate the higher pH levels that must be maintained in the Feedwater Receiver to satisfy Clayton feedwater requirements. Both systems work well independently, however feedwater chemical treatment problems arise when the two are operated in tandem with a common feedwater receiver - Clayton(s) with conventional boiler(s).

The Clayton Trap Separator was designed to remedy the boiler compatibility problem. Using a

Trap Separator allows both the Clayton(s) and conventional boiler(s) to operate together while sharing the same Feedwater Receiver. Each system receives feedwater properly treated to suit its respective operating requirements. If a Trap Separator is not used, pH is either too high for the conventional boiler(s) or too low for the Clayton(s).

5.2

OPERATION

The separator trap returns from the Clayton Steam Generator(s) contain a high concentration of

Total Dissolved Solids (TDS). This high concentration of TDS is undesirable to conventional boilers because the blowdown rate would have to be increased (and could not be increased enough if the feedwater TDS level was over 3000 ppm). By routing the separator trap returns to the Trap Separator, rather than to the common Feedwater Receiver, the high concentration of TDS in the trap returns is isolated to the

Clayton system. This not only eliminates the conventional boiler blowdown problems, but also satisfies the higher pH requirement of the Clayton(s) Feedwater. The construction of a Trap Separator is very similar to that of a Blowdown Tank. Separator trap return enters tangentially creating a swirling action. Flash steam is vented out the top and low pressure condensate is fed to the Booster Pump(s) from the outlet.

This relatively small amount of concentrated water blends with the larger volume of less concentrated feedwater being supplied from the Feedwater Receiver (ideally, the chemical treatment for both systems is injected into the Feedwater Receiver) to produce a mixture of properly treated feedwater entering the Clayton Heating Coil(s). The other boiler(s) receive feedwater containing the pH and TDS levels they require.

INSTALLATION

(Refer to Figures 5-1, 5-2, and 5-3.)

5.3.1

General

As shown on Figures 5-3 three sizes of Trap Separators have been designed to handle a broad range of boiler horsepowers. Typical dimensions for each Trap Separator are provided in

Figure 3. Line sizes for the Trap Separator connections are provided and should be kept full size

(no reductions). The Trap Separator and connected piping must be properly supported. The Trap

Separator is maintained at the same pressure and water level as the Feedwater Receiver and should be installed at an elevation that puts the water level midpoint in the sight glass.

5.3.2

Trap Separator Vent

The Trap Separator vent line must be large enough to handle the flash steam with little or no pressure drop and without affecting the water level. Proper vent line sizes for specific horsepower ranges are indicated on Figures 5-1 and 5-2 and must not be reduced. On Deaerator (DA) applications the vent flash steam should be introduced into the same section of the Deaerator as the Pressure Regulating Valve (PRV) steam injection. On open system applications, the vent line should be introduced to the top of the Feedwater Receiver. Refer to Figure 5-1.

The Trap Separator Outlet is tied into the Booster Pump(s) feedwater supply line from the common Feedwater Receiver. The outlet piping should be constructed so as to provide the required NPSH to the booster pump(s) inlet. (any frictional loss subtracts from the available

NPSH). The outlet piping should contain a minimum number of elbows and fittings, and no valves or check valves.

5.3.3

Feedwater Receiver Supply Lines

Provisions should be made for the Feedwater Receiver to have independent feed lines for the Clayton and conventional boiler feedwater supply. If not isolated, there is a potential for the larger feedwater pumps of the conventional boiler system to draw the water out of the Trap Separator and away from the Clayton feedwater supply system. This disrupts the chemical treatment in both systems and may cause water shortage and pump cavitation problems in the Clayton system. If independent feed lines are not possible, a swing check valve must be installed in the feedwater supply line to prevent backflow away from the Clayton system. (Refer to Figure 5.1)

SPECIFICATIONS

6.1

GENERAL

The following pages contain Tables with general reference information intended to assist in the installation of your Clayton SigmaFire steam generator. The information is provided only for standard

Clayton thermal products. Specially designed equipment, such as Clayton Steam Generators with Low

NOx Burners, are addressed in Supplemental Instructions.

6.2

AGENCY APPROVALS

All standard SigmaFire steam generators are designed and built to meet ANSI, ASME, Boiler

Pressure Vessel Code Section I, ASME CSD-1, IRI/GEGAP, FM, UL, CUL, and CRN requirements.

The marine listings ABS, USCG, DNV, and CCG, are available.

6.3

CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS

Only high quality materials are used in the manufacturing of the Clayton Steam Generator.

The Heating Coil in the generator is manufactured by Clayton using ASME SA178 or SA192 steel tubing. All welds are performed by Clayton ASME certified welders. The coil is then hydrostatically tested to 1.5 times the design pressure or 750 psig (52 bars) which ever is greater. The coil is encased in a mild steel jacket that contains all combustion gases.

The steam separator shell is constructed of SA53 seamless black pipe. The heads are made of

ASME SA 285 carbon steel. The separator also has openings for steam safety relief valves.

6.4

FLAME SAFEGUARD

Combustion safety control is accomplished by an Electronic Safety Control (ESC) flame monitoring system. The ESC is a microprocessor-based, burner management, control system designed to provide proper burner sequencing, ignition, and flame monitoring protection. In conjunction with limit and operating controls, it programs the Burner, Blower Motor, ignition, and fuel valves to provide for proper and safe burner operation. The control monitors both pilot and main flames. It also provides current operating status and lockout information in the event of a safety shutdown.

The programmer module, a component of the ESC, provides functions such as pre-purge, recycling interlocks, high-fire proving interlock, and trial for ignition timing of the pilot and main flame.

Burner flame is monitored by a flame sensor mounted in the Burner Manifold Assembly. The flame signal is sent to the amplifier module in the ESC. An optional display module may be added to provide readouts of main fuel operational hours and the flame signal.

EQUIPMENT

7.1

BOOSTER PUMP(S)

Booster pumps are required on an open system when the required NPSH to the feedwater pump cannot be achieved from an elevated hotwell. In a deaerator (D/A) system, booster pumps are required for most installations. Due to the low NPSH characteristics of these pumps, they are less sensitive to feedwater delivery problems caused by fluctuating pressure in the D/A than the

Clayton feedwater pump(s).

Booster pumps must be sized to provide 150 percent of the total system water flow at 150 percent of the total system head pressure. Total system head pressure includes the Clayton feedwater pump NPSH

R

, plus calculated pipe losses, and plus acceleration head loss.

Most systems use two pumps. One of the two pumps is a standby pump, or the usage of the two pumps are alternated to balance operating hours. Only booster pumps with mechanical seals rated at a minimum of 250 o

F (121 o

C) should be used. The booster pumps cannot be rated at a discharge pressure that is lower than the system operating pressure

NOTE

Each booster pump must have a 1/4 inch (6 mm) recirculation line, with a check-valve, piped from the discharge side of the pump back to the condensate receiver. This prevents overheating during “dead head” conditions. Clayton recommends using this return line to facilitate chemical injection at a common manifold on the condensate receiver.

7.2

BLOWDOWN SYSTEM

7.2.1

Blowdown Tank

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) requires that high temperature discharges be cooled to a temperature below 140 o

F (60 o

C) prior to entering a drainage system. A blowdown tank is performs this function. All blowdown and high temperature drain lines are to be piped to the blowdown tank. A capillary tube-type temperature sensor, mounted in the blowdown tank discharge line, actuates a temperature control valve, also mounted in the discharge line, to inject cooling water into the hot fluid. The temperature control valve can be adjusted to achieve the desired discharge fluid temperature. The blowdown tank vent should be a straight run of full size iron or steel pipe.

Steam Generator & Fluid Heater

Installation Manual

7.2.2

Automatic TDS Controller

Total dissolved solids can be controlled automatically. This is accomplished by installing a TDS (conductivity) sensing probe in the feedwater line, this is connected to the Clayton Boiler

Master controller that, in turn, controls a dump valve installed in the trap discharge line. The discharge from the dump valve is then piped to the blowdown tank. Refer to Drawing R-16099.

Feedwater testing is still required per the Clayton Feedwater Manual.

7.2.3

Continuous Blowdown Valve

The continuous blowdown valve, if used, is installed in the trap discharge line. It consists of a needle valve that is throttled for the proper flow rate to keep TDS within parameters. Refer to

Drawing R-16099.

7.3

VALVE OPTION KIT

The valve option kit consists of a separator drain valve, coil gravity drain valve, coil blowdown valve, and separator-trap discharge valve. The valve kit also includes the required hardware, such as nuts, bolts, gaskets, and pipe nipples, for the valve installation. With the exception of generator skids and the steam trap discharge valve, all valves are shipped loose for customer installation. If the valve option kit is not supplied by Clayton, it is the customers responsibility to provide these valves. All these valves are required for proper installation and operation.

7.4

SOOT BLOWER ASSEMBLY

For generators that burn oil, a provision for steam soot blowing is required. Clayton Industries can provide an optional steam pipe spool piece with all piping and valves required for the proper removal of accumulated soot. If this item is not purchased the customer must supply a valved line from the steam header to the soot blow inlet for this purpose.

PRESSURE REGULATING VALVES (BPR/PRV)

7.5.1

Back Pressure Regulators

Back Pressure Regulators (BPR), in the separator discharge piping, are required when the system requirements exceed the capacity of the steam generator/fluid heater, where there are cycling loads, such as those created from a fast-acting motorized valve, or on steam generators/ fluid heaters that are started remotely or automatically, such as master lead-lag or auxiliary pressure control systems. BPRs are recommended on all Clayton installations. The BPRs assure that sufficient pressure is maintained in the steam generator/fluid heater to protect the heating coil from a possible overheat condition.

Pilot operated BPRs are meant to be mounted at the steam header top elevation, immediately next to the steam stop valves above Clayton’s (remote) separator. They are not meant to be floor mounted. Pilot lines must be trapped to prevent liquid lockout. Customers who desire mounting BPRs at floor level must use pilotless electro-pneumatic BPRs.

Pressure Regulating Valves

Pressure Regulating Valves (PRV) control the pressure in the feedwater supply vessel, either D/A or Semi-closed Receiver (SCR) Systems. These valves ensure positive pressure is maintained on these vessels. The PRV receives steam from the main header and injects steam into the tank when a drop in pressure is detected. A check-valve must be installed in this line to protect the system in the event of flooding the tank.

SUPPLEMENT I - SCR

1.1 SEMI-CLOSED RECEIVER SYSTEMS (SCR)

1.1.1 Requirements

A Semi-closed Receiver system is used when condensate can be returned at relatively high pressure and temperature. The pressure of the receiver tank is determined by the condensate return system. When the system is warm and operating at its normal “balanced pressure” the Back

Pressure Regulator and Pressure Regulating Valve may be set. SCR systems typically operate between 50–125 psi and must be at least 50 psi below the anticipated steam pressure. Because of these higher operating pressures/temperature (feedwater will be between 300 o

–350 o

F) feedwater chemical treatment is reduced but not eliminated. Because of the elevated feedwater temperature, cooling water is circulated over the pump heads in the feedwater pump. This helps keep the pump diaphragms cool thereby extending the life. The pump head cooling water does not have to be softened water unless it is returned to the hotwell. Installation of cooling water lines to the pump head connections is the responsibility of the installing contractor.

1.1.2 Components of an SCR System refer to Drawing R-16596

The Semi-closed Receiver must be sized to a total capacity of 1.5 gallons per boiler horsepower. Multiple generators may be operated from one receiver if the installation is operating at a common pressure. The receiver tank must comply with the ASME Section VIII Code specifications for unfired Pressure Vessels. There must also be a large valved drain line in the bottom of the receiver to permit periodic draining and flushing of the tank.

NOTE

Receiver must be installed to provide sufficient NPSH to the feedwater pump(s). See Section 2.11.

1.1.3 Water Level Gauge Glass

A sight glass must be mounted on the receiver for visual verification of the operating water level. This glass must be rated for the operating pressure/temperature and be at least one foot long.

1.1.4 Steam Trap

An overflow steam trap is required to control the maximum water level, when above normal amounts of condensate are being returned. The trap inlet must have a priming drip leg at least eighteen inches long. The trap discharge must be piped to the make-up tank.

SI-1

04/22/2015 Supplmt01_SCR_b.fm

Steam Generator & Fluid Heater

Installation Manual

1.1.5 Vent

The receiver must have a vent to discharge non-condensable gases from the feedwater.

The Clayton vent most often provided is a 3/4 inch orifice union with a 1/8 inch orifice. This will continuously vent a small amount of steam with the gases.

1.1.6 Level Control

A liquid level controller is mounted on the receiver to control the make-up water pump.

This control starts and stops the make-up pump as required. The differential between the high and low levels is a narrow band (2 to 3 inches). The water level should be maintained approximately one quarter from the top of the tank, and at the proper height for the required NPSH of the generator feedwater pump.

1.1.7 Steam Relief Valve

The SCR must have a steam safety relief valve with a setting not greater than the design pressure of the tank. This valve must comply with all safety codes and must be capable of relieving at least 25 percent of the connected Generator Steaming capacity at the SCR operating pressure. The discharge from this valve must be piped to atmosphere and in a direction that will not cause harm to equipment or personnel.

1.1.8 Sparger Tube

The high pressure condensate returns must be injected into the SCR through a sparger tube. The sparger tube inlet must be 8–12 inches below the lowest water level so the heat will be transferred from the condensate to the liquid in the SCR with the least possible noise and vibration. The trap returns from the Clayton Separator should also be piped into the sparger tube.

1.1.9 Back Pressure Regulator

A Back Pressure Regulator (BPR) must be installed on the receiver to help control the tank pressure during large load swings, or in the event of system traps malfunction. The BPR should be set at 3–5 psi above the normal operating pressure.

1.1.10 Pressure Reducing Valve

A Pressure Regulating Valve (PRV) must be installed on the SCR to maintain a preset pressure. The PRV senses the SCR pressure and injects steam (above the water level) from the header in the event of a reduction in the tank pressure. The PRV should be set at 1–2 psi below the normal operating pressure. The PRV design flow must be equal to 25 percent of the maximum steam production rate. If low pressure steam is to be drawn from the receiver for other uses, this capacity must be considered when sizing the PRV. A check-valve must be installed between the

PRV and the receiver to prevent backflow in the event of a flooded condition in the receiver.

NOTE

The PRV and BPR are not options. They must be installed to ensure the effective and efficient operation of the Clayton Semi-closed Receiver System.

Supplement I

1.1.11 Make-up Tank

A make-up tank is required to collect low pressure condensate and fresh softened make-up water. Steam is introduced to the make-up tank through a temperature control valve. The make-up tank temperature should be maintained between 190 o

–200 o

F. The make-up tank must be sized for the total boiler horsepower rating of the system. The make-up tank must also have sufficient elevation to provide the required NPSH of the make-up.

1.1.12 SCR Transfer Pump

An SCR transfer pump is required to transfer water from the make-up tank to the SCR

(regenerative turbine type preferred). This pump must have a capacity that is at least equal to the total boiler feedwater pump capacity. The make-up pump must have a discharge head not less than 25 percent higher than the maximum receiver operating pressure. The discharge from this pump must enter the SCR below the minimum water level.

NOTE

A check-valve must be installed in the make up pump discharge line as close to the SCR as possible. This will prevent exposing the pump seal to excessive fluid temperatures.

1.1.13 Chemical Treatment

Feedwater Chemical Treatment is injected into the SCR below the water level. Feedwater treatment Chemicals are also be injected into the make-up tank to help protect the make up against corrosion. Both of these chemical injection lines must have a check-valve installed to prevent back feeding into the chemical pumps. Chemical pump output pressure must be greater than

SCR pressure.

1.1.14 Hook-up

The feedwater line between the SCR and the Generator feedwater water pump must have an inside diameter of 1.5 times that of the feedwater pump inlet connection. Elbows and restrictions must be kept at a minimum, and a flex section (2 feet minimum) must be installed on the feedwater pump inlet. Provision for a thermometer must be as close to the feedwater pump inlet as possible.

1.1.15 System Steam Traps

The steam traps in the system must be rated for the system pressure, and sized for the difference between the steam system and the receiver. This usually requires the traps be one size larger than on an open system. The steam traps in the system must be properly maintained for the system to function normally. If there are traps “blowing by” the SCR will be pressurized above the Back Pressure Regulator set point and steam will be needlessly vented to atmosphere.

SUPPLEMENT II - FLUID

HEATER

2.1 FLUID HEATERS

The Clayton Fluid Heater is provided with an off frame mounted steam separator. This type of unit carries a “DZ” model designation. A stand pipe with ASME safety valve remains on the main frame of the fluid heater. This type of equipment layout requires remote mounting of the fluid separator with interconnecting piping between the main shut off valve, mounted on the stand pipe, and the inlet of the separator. The piping between the stand pipe mounted main steam shut off valve, and the inlet to the fluid heater should be run full size with a minimum of elbows.

The remote mounted separator is available without legs, for mounting in the steam header, or with legs/skirt for floor mounting close to the fluid heater.

INTRODUCTION

A Clayton SE (Super Economizer) Coil provides added efficiency to your existing Clayton steam generator/fluid heater. The SE coil allows feedwater supply to be preheated prior to entering the main heating section. This preheated fluid helps to reduce the energy consumption of the machine without compromising its output capacity.

An SE coil is offered as a kit. This kit includes the coil assembly, outer shell extensions, band clamps, piping, and necessary hardware.

IMPORTANT

Before ordering an SE Kit, verify there is ample overhead clearance above the machine. An SE section adds twenty-four to forty-eight inches of height to the machine. Additional clearance must also be available for lifting SE coil onto the main coil. See Section 6.7 for height requirements.

WARNING

An SE coil assembly weighs several hundred pounds. Make sure all safety measures are observed throughout the SE Kit installation process. Make sure the lifting apparatus that will be used to hoist the SE coil assembly is designed for lifting such weights.

NOTE

It is always recommended that these procedures be reviewed completely before beginning the SE Kit installation.

INSTALLATION

Execute a dry shutdown of the machine. See Section IV in the Steam Generator/Fluid

Heater Instruction Manual for procedure. Allow the machine to cool.

WARNING

Secure the machine to prevent accidental start up during SE Kit installation.

Remove Heater Covers

a. Disconnect and remove the flue exhaust duct from the heater cover.

b. Disconnect and remove the existing feedwater supply and discharge piping from the machine.
